Today, the Legislature is working on putting together the state’s budget. There are a number of appropriations subcommittee hearings, all available at le.utah.gov for your listening/napping pleasure. For a full list of subcommittee hearings and where they’re located if you’re so inclined to join us, here’s the first week’s schedule.
